Which graph shows the solution to the system of linear inequalities?
2 answers:
Answer:
None of them
Step-by-step explanation:
Both inequalities are shown with < (less than) symbols. Thus the boundary line on both plots of the solution graph should be dashed (not solid) lines. The best choice is the last graph (attached), but the marked line should be dashed, not solid.
The first inequality can be rewritten as ...
... y > (1/4)x -1
The y-intercept of the boundary line will be -1, and the slope of it will be 1/4. Since the inequality symbol is > (not ≥), the boundary line should be dashed. The acceptable values of y are greater than those on the line, so the (blue) shading will be above the line.
The second inequality has a boundary line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of +1. Since the inequality symbol is < (not ≤), the boundary line should be dashed (as it is in the attached graph). Acceptable values of y are less than those on the line, so the (red) shading will be below the line.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you know that the shaded region has this area:
And the area of each square region in the corners is:
Since there are four square regions, you can multiply that the area of any of them by 4, in order to find the total area of them:
Then, in order to find the total area of the figure, you must add the area of the shaded region and the total area of the square regions:
Therefore, the total of the figure is:
